Transcriber's Notes:     
The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder.
The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to quality
 of original document.
Passenger 17 - s in Thos is superscripted, presumably Thomas.
Passenger 26 - Last name appears to be Doore, although all letters except D are
 unclear.  All letters except D are short - none extend above midline or below
 bottom line.  Possibly Dowe.  See also passenger 55.
Passenger 28 - Age is faint, could possibly be 20.
Passenger 29 - Wm, presumably William, although m is not superscripted.
Passenger 30 - Last name - second letter i or e, followed by n and then one or two 
 short letters, extending neither above midline nor below bottom line.  Possibly
 eu or iu or w.  Last two letters dy are clear.
Passenger 31 - Same as passenger 30.
Passenger 33 - Last letter of first name is superscripted.  Appears to be or, but 
 is indistinct.
Passenger 35 - First name transcribed as written.  The recorder wrote "Micheal" 
 several times throughout the list, presumably misspelling Michael. (See also
 passengers 127, 138.)
Passengers 40-43 - Passenger 40 appears on the bottom of a page, followed by 
 passenger 41, whose last name is indicated to be the same using ".  The name
 clearly appears to be McAlidon.  However, passenger 42 is at the top of the next
 page, followed by 43, again with ".  This appears to clearly say McAliden.  It
 appears likely that all four passengers have the same name.
Passenger 50 - Last name either Vaughan or Vaighan.
Passenger 55 - Last name appears to be Dowe, but could be Doore.  See also 
 passenger 26.
Passenger 56 - Same as passenger 55.
Passenger 60 - Michl, presumably Michael - l is not superscripted but appears to 
 have a dot beneath it. Last name Connell or Connoll.
Passenger 72 - Wm, presumably William, although m is not superscripted.
Passenger 76 - t in first name is superscripted.
Passenger 80 - Last name appears to be Corigan, but could be Congan.
Passenger 87 - Patk. presumably Patrick, . after k is clear, but k is not
 superscripted.
Passenger 90 - Bridgt, presumably Bridget, but t is not superscripted.
Passenger 92 - Bridgt, presumably Bridget, but t is not superscripted.
Passenger 94 - Patk, presumably Patrick, but k is not superscripted.
Passenger 95 - Bridgt, presumably Bridget, but t is not superscripted.
Passenger 96 - Bridgt, presumably Bridget, but t is not superscripted.
Passenger 98 - Last name is obscured, but both (three?) letters are short,
 neither extending above midline nor below bottom line.  Possibly wn, iwn, oin?
Passenger 100 - Last name appears to be Dorr, but could be Doer, Dow, etc.
Passenger 110 - Bridgt, presumably Bridget, but t is not superscripted.
Passenger 121 - Bridgt, presumably Bridget, but t is not superscripted. Last
 name is faint.  First letter B, R, P, or possibly G, followed by a, then i or
 u, then de.
Passenger 122 - First name ends with a scribble, possibly d, presumably Richard,
 but not clear.
Passenger 127 - First name transcribed as written.  The recorder wrote "Micheal" 
several times throughout the list, presumably misspelling Michael. (See also
 passengers 35, 138.)
Passenger 128 - Age is obscured, could be 24.
Passenger 138 - First name transcribed as written.  The recorder wrote "Micheal" 
several times throughout the list, presumably misspelling Michael. (See also
 passengers 35, 127.)
Passenger 140 - Michl., presumably Michael, although l is not superscripted.
Passenger 151 - Margt, presumably Margaret, although t is not superscripted.
Passenger 154 - Bridgt, presumably Bridget, although t is not superscripted.
Passenger 156 - Last name has been obliterated.
